Korean Steak Taco's

When I saw these steak taco's over at Pam's For the Love of Cooking I knew exactly what we were having for dinner. And I completely agree with her that it was difficult to stop at just two. But I did. And that didn't stop me from going out and getting another flank steak and we'll have them again this weekend! They were so good. I should have had three.

I added broccoli slaw instead of lettuce because we like the broccoli slaw. I omitted cilantro because of the picky ones who still insist it takes like a Dove bar and I don't mean Dove chocolate. I use parsley instead. And red onions along with the green onions. I like red onions with steak. Served with roasted snap peas and some brown rice.

Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, water, vinegar, garlic, and sugar together in a large zip lock bag. Slice the flank steak, against the grain, into small bite size pieces or very thin slices. Place the meat into the marinade and refrigerator for 2-24 hours.

Combine the soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, vinegar and sugar together in a small bowl to make the salad dressing. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Heat a grill pan or a skillet over medium high heat. Drizzle a bit of olive oil in the pan. Once the pan is hot, add the flank steak, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often until the meat is cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Remove from the grill pan and set aside.

Toss the broccoli slaw and Napa cabbage together with the red onion and shredded carrots. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of salad dressing on the salad and toss to coat evenly. Add more dressing if needed.

Wrap the flour tortillas in a damp towel and cook in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften them up. Place some of the slaw in the tortilla and top with steak. Add avocado if you like. Top with some Sriracha sauce and a squeeze of lime. Serve.

Oh! I've been seeing these tacos around and have wanted to make them. With our love for Asian food and our love for anything wrapped in a tortilla, this is going to be a HUGE hit in our house. They look delicious, Carol!

Korean tacos!! The family will love these. I once spent about a million bucks taking them to a Korean restaurant where you cook everything on grills in the middle of your table. I bet this yields similar flavors (for less than a million bucks). We use broccoli slaw in our fish tacos and -amazingly - the kids eat it.

Fusion food is always extremely interesting and delicious! Mixing food cultures is a challenge and most of the times rewards you with a superb meal just like in this case! How could you stop in just two? lol

About Me

I love to cook. Sometimes. I love takeout. More than sometimes! I used to think there's "no thyme to cook," and that the smoke alarm was my timer, but now "there's always thyme to cook" and sometimes even bake!
